Bid Discussed for Irrigation System for Football Field at John Glenn High School

John Glenn School Board

The football field at the John Glenn High School will be getting a new irrigation system.

Superintendent Richard Reese brought information to the John Glenn School Board from Maintenance Supervisor Brad Schmeltz. Reese said the current system is outdated and needs replaced.

“It’s a 1984 vintage irrigation system,” commented Reese. “Brad is great at using the equipment that we have until its bitter end. This will take care of the football field. The low bidder was Wissco and we have their system on other places here at the corporation.”

Wissco Irrigation, Inc. out of Rochester submitted a bid of $17,980 to install a similar but updated irrigation system at the football field. The school board unanimously approved the bid.
